Hi,

So I appear to have a sticking clutch issue, that is, it doesn't disengage after sitting a few days.  I did a search here and it was enlightening.  Got home yesterday, without starting it, pulled the clutch in and put it in gear - no release.  After a little more rolling back and forth encouragement, I managed to unstick it.

Based on what I have read, not an entirely uncommon thing.  The bike only has 6700 miles on it, so it sat (A LOT), and it needed some sorting (I have never seen clutch slave fluid so black before).

The bike has fresh Mobil 1 20/50 V-twin synth.  I read that someone mentioned using Kawasaki oil, and that it helped.  Worth trying?  And if so, what weight?  A shame with the fresh oil already, but if it will help.

Is there anything else I should do?  Clutch slave is flushed with fresh fluid, seems fine.

Thanks much, great forum here.
